Python library for GNIP.
Project description
gnippy provides an easy way to access the Power Track stream provided by GNIP.
Installation:
pip install gnippyQuickstart:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import time
from gnippy import PowerTrackClient
# Define a callback
def callback(activity):
print activity
# Create the client
url = "http://my.gnip.powertrack/url.json"
auth = ('MyUserName', 'MyPassword')
client = PowerTrackClient(callback, url=url, auth=auth)
client.connect()
# Wait for 2 minutes and then disconnect
time.sleep(120)
client.disconnect()If no credentials/url is/are provided, gnippy will look for a boto-style .gnippy file in the user’s home directory. The structure of a .gnippy file is as follows:
[Credentials]
username = user@company.com
password = mypassword
[PowerTrack]
url = https://my.gnip.powertrack/url.jsonThis file can be stored in an alternate location and be passed in as a parameter to the constructor.
client = PowerTrackClient(callback) # if you have a ~/.gnippy file ready to rock
# OR
client = PowerTrackClient(callback, config_file_path="/etc/gnippy")Source available on GitHub: http://github.com/abh1nav/gnippy/
